I am, as you can well imagine, disappointed. I had hoped for so much, laid plans, decided exactly which color my new curtains should be and then, well, nothing. Neil Trotter – you will remember my post about his offer – didn’t answer me, didn’t send me any share of his millions, left me to fend for myself in this harsh world.

And that despite the fact that, back on April 3, I sent him all my details. Well, almost.

Perhaps it was the fact that I entered my address as being Broadway, Victoria, London, home of New Scotland Yard, which put him off. Or perhaps, unlikely as it may seem, the Internet Fraud Squad is now receiving spam and other marvelous offers to make them rich quick through the post. Perhaps Neil even went to visit them…

Although I doubt it, to be honest. I always knew that it was a scam, and even wrote my feelings about it at the time. Still, a few extra Euro in my bank account would have been useful.

Perhaps someone else will make me an offer… Anyone want to buy Tower Bridge, I can make you a very good offer.
